Young tribal girl from Maoist hotbed in Andhra Pradesh set to don the DSP uniform

Ch. Jeevana Padal, a 22-year-old young tribal woman, is jubilant after clearing the Group-I examination conducted by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC), and she is the first woman from the interior Agency area who will be donning the police uniform of the rank of a DSP.

Hailing from Kilagada hamlet of Munchingputtu mandal in Alluri Sitharama Raju district, a Maoist hotbed, Ms. Jeevana has come up trumps, having cleared the examination in the first attempt.

Celebrations began at her residence soon after the results were declared by the APPSC on August 17.
